Zhao Kuangyin did not persuade, nor did he want to persuade, he was rescued from Weizhou City, and he went to Cizhou to report to Chai Rong.

Chai Rong knew that Zhao Kuangyin could endure it without Yinuo to rescue Baili Wuji, but when he heard that Chai Rong had left the 35,000 Zhou soldiers in Weizhou City and only more than 100 people had evacuated, he was furious.

When he heard that Zheng En led three hundred horsemen to aid Baili Wuji, Chai Rong couldn't bear it anymore.

Chai Rong immediately issued an order to remove Zhao Kuangyin from the official position of Song Zhou Assassin History, and only retained the position of Yu Hou in front of the palace.

Chai Rong still retains a face, and has not removed Zhao Kuangyin from his position in front of the palace, in Chai Rong's heart, Zhao Kuangyin is still his confidant and brother.

But Zhao Kuangyin thought differently, he was born and died, and almost died in Weizhou City, not only did he not get praise, but he was cut down, and last time he asked Chai Rong to let himself be the five states of the difficult Wuzhou Festival to make the rejection of the resentment churn up, which deepened the resentment in Zhao Kuangyin's heart.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was driven back to Ningzhou by Chai Rong and ordered to make meritorious contributions, saw that Yunyang and Xu Shouren were going to counterattack, and a trace of thought appeared in his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I am willing to lead the army to help you." ”

Xiang Xun was anxious when he heard this, pulled Zhao Kuangyin aside, and persuaded: "Yuen Long can't, Your Majesty ordered us to stick to Ningzhou, and we must not disobey." ”

Zhao Kuangyin replied softly: "The Ming army saved your life first, and now it should be reasonable to help each other, Your Majesty will not blame, this is one of them; If the Ming army opens up the original and Wei two states, we can take advantage of the situation to recover the city and make a contribution to recovering the lost territory, which is the second; If the Ming army loses its attack, you and I will withdraw to Ningzhou. Ningzhou has Changyi Jiedu envoy sitting in town, and the Liao army can't attack it for a while, which is the third. So. Are you going to stop it? ”

Xiang Xunwen heard that what Zhao Kuangyin said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed to lead his troops to cooperate with Yun Yang and the two to fight back.

The time was set for the middle of the day.

After pre-war preparations, at the beginning of the war, the First Army and the Special Warfare Army set out from the east gate of Ningzhou City, marched west around the north city wall, and waited until the Ming army joined forces at the west city gate. After the formation was completed, the Zhou army came out of the West City Gate to the training department and used it as a backup behind the Ming army.

This move is because it is too risky to open the west gate directly. In order to prevent being detected by the Liao army, they took advantage of the situation to rush into Ningzhou City.

When the time came, the two armies met at the West City Gate as planned.

After several days of hard fighting, the Liao army had no defense against the Zhou army daring to go out of the city to counterattack, and everything went according to plan.

The Ming army took the special operations army as the vanguard. Relying on the advantage of muskets. First of all, a surprise attack was launched on the Liao army barracks.

Yun Yangbu followed behind, and the fish rushed forward.

Under the cover of night, Yun Yang didn't dare to be too bold, so he chose a strip assault instead of a full army charge.

It is very likely that the whole army will be chaotic because of the night, and the tragedy of their own people beating themselves will occur, except as a last resort. No general dared to launch an all-army charge in the night.

Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun led 10,000 Zhou troops to follow the Yunyang Division.

When the battle began, the special operations musketeers fired as they rushed forward. When the front row is finished, stop and wait for the second and third rows to come forward, and then follow.

After a long period of fighting, the soldiers of the special operations army applied the standing three-stage strike combat method to assault operations.

Maybe that's creativity.

The special combat army led by Xu Shouren quickly defeated the vigilant Liao army patrol and broke into the Liao army camp like a bamboo.

The Liao army had already woken up from the sound of the muskets of the special operations army, but in the darkness, the noise overshadowed the voice of the Liao army's generals' orders.

Until the special operations army rushed into the barracks, the Liao army had not yet completed the formation.

The torches in the Liao army barracks gave the special warfare musketeers a good direction of shooting.

Under the light of the fire, the Liao soldiers were shot as soon as they ran out of the camp tent.

The special operations army did not stop, like a sharp blade through it.

The chaotic Liao army was left behind, and Yunyang's first army did not stop, following the special operations army roaring past.

The real enemy was Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun.

When the Zhou army rushed into the barracks, it was already full of Liao corpses, but just came out of the camp tent and the Liao soldiers swarmed in, so the Zhou army could not advance, so it could only start a battle with the Liao army on the spot.

The battle continued until dawn.

The 10,000 Zhou army fought an unprecedented battle of annihilation at this time, and more than 10,000 Liao troops were annihilated in this battle.

More than 10,000 horses and a large amount of ordnance were captured.

And the Zhou army lost less than 1,000 people, which was a complete victory.

Although he did not keep up with the Ming army and recovered Wei and the original two states, this battle was enough to shock the Zhou government and the opposition.

Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun sent people to report to the envoy of Changyi Jiedu in Ningzhou City to receive the spoils of war, and on the other hand, they sent messengers to Cizhou to report the victory to Chai Rong.

According to Xiang Xun, this great achievement is enough, and he should return to Ningzhou City to continue to hold on, the Liao army in the middle has suffered such huge losses, and the next defense should be much easier, but Zhao Kuangyin refused.

Zhao Kuangyin said to Xiang Xun: "Before the war, it was estimated that the Liao army in the middle of the road was only 50,000 people, and the number of Liao troops annihilated in this battle has reached about 15,000 people, and the remaining Liao army is only 35,000 people, and now the Ming army is more than 40,000 people moving westward, you and I will lead 9,000 people to support, Wei and the original two states can be easily recovered, if you don't go, these two states will fall into the hands of the Ming army, and I am afraid there will be no day to get them back." ”

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin still did not believe that the Ming Congress was so righteous, and the Wei and Yuan two states that were in his hands were willing to give up.

And it is true, Yun Yang and Xu Shouren want Zhou Jun to cooperate, but they don't want them to follow.

It is better to give up the great merit of annihilating the Liao army, but also to get rid of the Zhou army, and the purpose of attacking Yuanzhou alone is to let the Ming State control the Yuan and Wei two states, because with these two states, the river and Lanzhou occupied by Baili Wuji have an entry point to connect with the Central Plains.

Xiang Xun heard that Zhao Kuangyin was reasonable, and then after the handover of the 9,000 Zhou army and the Changyi Jiedu envoy who heard the sound, he continued to march in the direction of Yuanzhou.

When Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun began to march, the special operations army had already blasted the east gate of Yuanzhou.

Then rushed into the city with the Yunyang tribe who rushed in, and in only one hour, the Ming army had completely controlled the city of Yuanzhou.

Yun Yang gave the order with a blank face that no prisoners of the Liao army would be kept.

More than 3,000 Liao prisoners were immediately slaughtered.

Leaving a hundred Ming troops to defend it, Yun Yang ordered to continue to march towards Weizhou.

Xu Shouren was very puzzled, and asked Yun Yang on the way to the march: "Brother Yun, what role can these hundred soldiers play?" If the Zhou army wants to occupy the city, even a thousand will not be able to resist it. ”

The corners of Yun Yang's mouth turned up on a naturally smiling face, and he replied: "If the Zhou army wants to tear his face, even if he leaves five thousand soldiers, the effect will be the same as that of a hundred soldiers." ”

Xu Shouren said: "Then why does Brother Yun want to stay? ”

Yun Yang replied: "As long as the Zhou army still has a request from the Ming State, these 100 soldiers are enough to prove that this city is recovered by the Ming State." (To be continued......)
